QUILTS AND COMFORTS.
How They Can BE Quilted without the
Aid of Eramrs.


Spread onr-half Of the comfort, OF
quilt, smoothly over a bed: or on the
floor, if preferred Arrange Tia" cotton,
or wool. evenly over il, but not quit,
close to the edge. Then let two per
sons Zone on each sidc) place the Other
half carefully over the cotton, holding
it up till exactly over the lower half
Make the ed geS meet evenly, and pin
or paste them together all round, turn
ing IN the edges if a comfort.
Have ready a piece of tape, or mus
lin, with an even edge. and fasten this
straight across from corner to corner.
Stick in pins along the edge, to form a
straight line. Then do the same across
the other corners This will keep the
cotton in position. Now, have ready q
measure, of the width of the squarc
needed for the quilting. Plac" it
just below the line already pinned and
measure first one side and then the other,
placing pin at each point. Pin the
tape across, AS before, and outline the
edge with pins, and so on till that half
is done. Then measure above the line
in the same way. The pin-lines can be
basted at any stage of the marking, if
pins are not at hand. After the baSt-
ing is done the quilt or comfort can be
taken on the knee and quilted at ease
This plan is very convenient for elderly
persons, to whom it is tircsOme TO sit at
frames while quilting.
If knotting is preferred to quilting n
strong thread or cord can be put
through where the lines cross, by using
very coarse needle or mattress
needle. To save the material of the
comfort the cord must be run on each
side through squares of Strong-twill"d
muslin, or other strong stuff. and then
tied. The cotton or silk used for quilt
ing should be very strong, a. it is liable
to break in the course of wear if At All

If hogs are kept, as we keep them,
until the second year, the winter food
needs to be largely of the bone and
muscle-folmng varieties. They can be
kept growing upon no other kind Of
food Corn will furnish little for bone
and muscle building. In Il recent letter
from Kansas, noticing the prevalence Of
hog disease, the trouble was attributed
by the writer to too much corn. He
said corn was so plenty that the hogs
were fed upon it from pighood to ma
turity, and that even the sows with pigs
were permitted to run with the fatten-
ing hogs. Now, it is utterly idle to ex-
pect swine to do well under such treat
ment. There can be no aim in such
feeding, unless the object is TO kill the
hog, and, of course, that purpose is not
entertained. Until gras' comes the
growing hogs should be fed carefully
upon only that which will make them
grow. They do not need fat; they need
size, large bone and more fully de-
veloped muscle. They may be fed any
thing that is upon the farm except corn,
but only very small quantity of that.

tiVes-Excellent Work All Around
Diamond Dots.

About 800 persons assembled at Cit
izsns' Park yesterday afternoon to wit.
ness the third game OF the series be-
tween the Memphis and Detroit teams.
Early in the day it WAS given out that
the home team would present its own
battery. This caused many to stay
away, as they thought our twirler and
backstop would not be able to cope
with the Wolverines. The "thohghts"
of the knowing ones went wrong this
time, as the score will show. The
game was even better than the one
played on Thursday, and It was a sur
prise to many OF the old time players
to Gee our boys hold down the De-
troits as they did. The score was
three to two in favor OF Detroit.
German occupied the points for Men,
phis and he did splendid work. Ee
had TO face seven left handed battsfs
and he held the whole team down to
nine hits. Baker caught for him and
uiu very good work. Ge,z,in pitched
for the visitors and six hits with total
Of seyen hases were made of his de-
livery. He was hit hard, but the fine
support accorded him by the outdeld-
ers kept the home team from making
what seemed to be safe hits.
The game WAS one of the best ever
played here. II was interesting from
start to 6uish, and those lovers Of the
tport who failed to be 10 attendance

was ever played here.
